Enliven Mama Africa - Charity Number 1167593
Trustees’ Annual Report for Period 31/12/2020 to 30/12/2021
The principal noteworthy event affecting the Charity – along with the rest of the world, of course – was the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic early in 2020. This continued to have an effect until the end of this reporting year, and beyond. This had an adverse impact primarily by taking away access to volunteers from outside Ghana. Thus the Charity suffered financially, in the sense that volunteers are generally required to contribute as necessary for their accommodation and daily upkeep and also to the ancillary costs (equipment, consumables, etc.) in Ghana by way of a donation. Accordingly the donation income was drastically reduced. Also, of course, was the loss of access to the skills and the labour which the overseas volunteers provide. However the projects income was noticeably increased although it should be pointed out that not all of the projects income could be facilitated (for various reasons) leading to a significant sum being carried forward.
Nonetheless, during the course of the year the Charity contributed funding for several activities in Ghana:
(1) the planting of 2000 fruit trees
(2) the building of a vocational training school
(3) digging a total of six further wells to give access to safe, clean water
(4) ongoing building of a house to accommodate future volunteers (Sumillion House)
Enliven Mama Africa as an organisation accomplished many positive and sustainable projects in the year 2021. Point (3) above provided one hand dug well and five mechanised borehole wells benefitting six rural communities. As a result Enliven Mama Africa, in partnership with Sumillion (Basingstoke, England), provided access to clean and reliable water for households in rural areas.
GREEN SCHOOL PROJECT
Further to point (1) above, it is the view of the Charity that inefficient and poor management of forest resources has led to over-exploitation, resulting in degraded forests that are more susceptible to wildfire and flooding. Our aim was to provide generations of children and teachers with healthy nutrition options and pass on environment and climate education for the protection of the environment and preservation of resources. We worked with primary and junior schools and up to 15,000 students to plant fruit trees and shade trees of around 2,000 in number, ranging from Mangoes, Avocados, Pawpaw, Oranges and Guavas as well as high quality shade trees. Our main objective was to provide future generations of children and their teachers with healthy nutrition options and environmental education opportunities in green compounds. This objective is gradually being fulfilled as the trees are now growing healthily in order to serve the intended purposes.
SUMILLION HOUSE
Further to point (4) above, work has begun and it’s still ongoing on Sumillion House , our dedicated accommodation for volunteers with Enliven Mama Africa. Once completed, it will provide both educational space and accommodation for up to 70 volunteers during their stay in Ghana. Good
accommodation is really important in order to reach and encourage volunteers to help Enliven Mama Africa to grow and thrive.
WOMAN EMPOWERMENT PROJECT SCHOOL BUILDING
Further to point (2) above, Enliven Mama Africa, with support from its sponsors and donors are nearing completion of the girls’ vocational training school. This comprises 6 classroom units, staff common room, office, storeroom, library and 6 toilets. The vocational school is set to train girls in food/nutrition and sewing/crafts. Hopefully, with requisite funding, the vocational school will be fully completed by February 2023.
